- I feel like if you're from the Scions of the Canopy, you guys probably met in that school Elder Leik arranged.

There's two possible ways this went down: 1. You invited him to sit next to you 2. The only seat left was next to you. Even then, I don't think he would have made an actual effort to talk to you, being the quiet kid he was. You probably were the one who initiated the conversation.

"Hi, I'm ____! What's your name?" You asked inquisitively as the boy took a seat next you in the circle.

"Kinich," he replied simply, seeming completely uninterested in the conversation.

You smiled at him brightly, disregarding the cold response. "Nice to meet you!"

He gave a simple nod in response before Elder Leik gave a cough and started the class.

- He was probably at least a little bit intrigued, given that you hadn't made snarky comments about his shabby and wild appearance and lack of shoes. Did he ever act on that interest? Heck no. In my opinion, he's probably someone who'd only ever try to talk to you of you managed to worm your way into his small circle of friends.

Even though he never went back to that school, he definitely saw you around. His frequent visits to the market often ended up with at least one or two encounters every week. You two probably explored the market together (well, you explored and dragged him around).

"C'mon, c'mon! That way! I see food over there!" you exclaimed giddily as you dragged him to yet another stall. It was the fifth stall in the past half an hour, and quite frankly, a waste of time.

"Why are we looking at the products if neither of us are going to buy anything?" he asked in his usual deadpan voice, trying to free himself from the death grip you had on his wrist. You didn't seem aware of how forcefully you had been dragging him around.

"It's called window shopping. Just absorb it with your eyes," you replied cheekily, before rushing over to 'sample food with vision', as you would put it.

He'd never say it to your face, but he definitely found it amusing after he got used to it.

- If you aren't from Natlan/the Scions of the Canopy, then you probably met him after looking for a guy to do a commission. We don't talk about the prices. Just assume you could afford them, even if I know half of you are too broke for that.

After a while of asking around for a trustworthy hunter, you decided to find this "Malipo" Kinich guy since everyone was telling you to go to him.

"Oh, you want someone dependable? Go to Kinich. Just a warning, he won't do it if you can't afford it."

- You were just relieved to have someone to do the job for you. And, man did he do it fast. A little over an hour later, he returned, with the saurian dead (I know, so heartless, you commissioned him to kill the poor thing) and a simple, "Pleasure doing business." You seriously doubted he actually meant it, though, with how dead he looked while saying that.

He totally did, however, as you didn't try to haggle over the price too much. That was a win in his books. And of course, the added bonus was that you didn't seem to mind Ajaw talking both of your ears off the entire time. (If you did, then you hid it incredibly well.)

After that, I think your interactions would be limited to waves and greetings while passing by each other, unless you went to find him for a commission again. Or you try to chat to him. It's up to you!
